The Sting of the Wild: The Story of the Man Who Got Stung for Science

By Justin O. Schmidt
John Hopkins University Press: Baltimore, MD, 2016

This book is useful in dispelling myths about broad groups (particularly the oft-maligned Mutillidae). The Appendix contains the rankings for 83 species and includes all ranked species. It's also worth noting that this does mean that the majority of species are unranked, so caution should be taken in creating sweeping claims (as often done on rather erroneous Internet memes).
